Moorer, who recently retired from the Navy and concluded his internship, encourages fellow wound warriors to apply, nothing that “I don’t think there’s a better program for you to go get on-the-job experience, exchange knowledge with other people who are very knowledgeable, and get an excellent job opportunity that could end up being the perfect career for you.
Eligibility
The FBI Wounded Warrior Internship Program is part of the Defense Department’s Operation Warfighter program. This DOD initiative links wounded warriors with federal government internships so that they can gain work experience while recuperating from a wound, illness, or injury.
The program is incredibly competitive, but at this time, there’s no limit on the number of qualified servicemembers who may be selected for internships each year, Keffer said. Thirteen FBI interns are expected to onboard by the end of fiscal year 2023, according to the program.
As long as a field office or Headquarters division has an operational need—and if they believe an applicant is the right fit for the position—the FBI’s Human Resources Division will make the match.
To qualify for the program, a servicemember must:
- Be an active-duty servicemember, a mobilized reservist, or a member of the Army or Air National Guard
- Be a U.S. citizen
- Be assigned to a Wounded Warrior unit, detachment, or regiment
- Hold an active Top Secret security clearance
- Have at least six months remaining on their service commitment
- Have the ability to travel to and from their assigned worksite
- Meet FBI security and suitability requirements
Interested servicemembers can reach out to their Operation Warfighter coordinator to begin the application process.
